   Printing in Linux

   Hi All!   
      
   When I print in golded under linux I only get an empty page printed.   
      
   I checked and it pipes the message to lpr.   
   #ifdef __UNIX__   
     strcpy(printdevice, "/usr/bin/lpr > /dev/null 2>&1");   
      
   No clue why it does not print the message.   
   I tried this:   
   PRINTDEVICE /usr/local/bin/gedprint   
      
   ==== Begin "gedprint"  ====   
   #!/bin/bash   
   tee /tmp/print.txt > /dev/null   
   lpr /tmp/print.txt   
   rm /tmp/print.txt   
   ==== End "gedprint" ====   
      
   THAT works ... any idea why?   
      
   Just wondering ...   
      
   CU, Ricsi
